In Mortal Kombat (2011), some of Sub-Zero's moves involve the Kori Blade, but after using it, the blade shatters, this can just be a game mechanic or it could mean that Sub-Zero's powers are not yet strong enough to maintain the blade this early in the timeline. The Kori Blade is no longer a broadsword but instead resembles a katana. Sub-Zero continues to use this weapon in Mortal Kombat X.

In his cybernetic form, Sub-Zero can create a larger version of the Kori Blade in the form of a large broadsword, though the shape differs from its form from the original timeline.
